I haven't masturbated all day and I still can't catch raindrops with chopsticks or mine Bitcoin with my thoughts. Send help.

The leaves on trees don't turn to money as I walk past.

Women I look at aren't instantly becoming pregnant from my gaze alone.

Men who are exposed to my very presence don't immediately drop to their knees and suck me off (<obligatory "nOt gAY bUt" statement goes here>).

My virgin Olive Oil didn't become regular Olive Oil and I still can't see John Cena or smell what the Rock is cooking.

It's almost like NoFap is just a placebo and you're all just trying to cope with your repressed prudishness.. or the fact that you're so mentally pathetic that you can't watch a single porno without becoming instantly addicted.

Whichever.

 

[Stoic]

Try to exercise self control more than 24 hours to give it a go.

I don't believe its a placebo at all, because there is science to back it up. Read your brain on porn. You basically fry your dopamine (brain's reward chemicals) after viewing porn/masturbating and your brain has less of an incentive to try and work hard, self improve, be productive, when its getting all of those temporarily feel good chemicals for doing nothing at all.

 

[Stoic]

Its kind of like saying man I went to the gym and refrained from eating sugar for an entire day and there are no results?

You need more time than that. You expect things to come too easily.

Only one day, what an amateur. Try three months minimum and you will see through walls and be on your way to build the Fourth Reich. With abstaining from onanism you also have to abstain from watching porn, looking at and phantasizing about women. Chastity is not only not playing Five Finger Joe but an attitude.

Damn. You're right.

 

[member160761]

Damn. You're right.

I had record abstaining periods but they were useless because my mind was rotten and perverted to the core. The only benefit I reaped was the excess energy, but with so much energy anything negative or positive in your life increases tenfold.

Start today!

Otherwise it’s over for PIEDcels.

It must suck to live life with that type of mentality and constant negativity.

Exactly. Ops problem is primarily in attitude and seemingly no desire to fix it.

Op is only mid 20's and already jaded.

Op, you would be astounded as to what a better attitude and mindset would do for your life.

And you sound like the kind of person who thinks that with the right mindset, a bullet shot at you won't hit you.

You will die optimistic and who's gonna be at fault?

You know it's possible to be both optimistic and realistic at the same time?

I'm 39 and my life has not been all rainbows and butterflies and so I am not naive as to how much of a burden life can be at times.

But, what is the use in complaining? Life for the overwhelming majority of people is difficult. I have seen your posts and you seem determined to have a victim mindset. You have a sh*t attitude and personality and are immature even in your mid 20s. It would behoove you to change that.

 

[member160761]

If OP would quit masturbating, stop spending so much time here, go outside more often, engage in a spiritual practice and start working out or get some kind of movement in his day to day life he'd change in 2-3 months for the better.

Nope.

I'm 39 and my life has not been all rainbows and butterflies and so I am not naive as to how much of a burden life can be at times.

Then why the hell are you talking to me about changing my damn attitude? You should know better.

And why do you think I have a victim mindset? Could it be that every time I started to get my **** together and started putting forth the smallest effort, I end up in a bad spot for not letting people who aren't **** hold me down?

If yes, which it is, then yeah I'm a victim. You can talk to me about "learning from my mistakes" or whatever all you want, what you're really just telling me is to not try.. because that's the only way I can avoid being the "problem" everywhere I go.

Also the sooner we get our heads out of our asses and stop pretending that maturity is something that.. happens, the better.

Spoken like a true victim who is determined to be a passenger in his own life.

Notice how OP takes zero responsibility for his own personal failings and shifts blame to someone else?

Sorry OP. Not interested in the sob story. There are many people who had it way worse than you who have succeeded through their own hard work and perseverance and drive to rise above it all. Like the numerous people who came to the US as immigrants without a dollar in their pocket that didn't speak the language and didn't know anyone and turned themselves into millionaires. How did it happen? Firstly because they believed it could and secondly because they worked their ass off towards making it happen and didn't allow setbacks no matter how big dissuade them from their goals.

Your only drive seems to be to complain about your life and how bad it's been and why it will never change. Well you are right about that. With your attitude and mindset it never will.

The formula to the whole Western population in a nutshell.

 

[corrector]

Don't see any non-religious or secular reasoning behind abstaning from that. That's good enough for me though. I don't get all of the discussion about the issues around it. I totally disagree that this will turn you into a Chad that gets allot of traction or is helpful in any practical sense beyond the religious aspect.

If I attempted to leverage my confidence and put in more effort, I'd either end up shot or in jail for something trivial af. That's just how it is. I couldn't care less about the damn immigrants.

To be fair, this nofap thing is funny as hell.

And the coup de grace...creating outcomes in your head that mirror your current mindset as a reason to do nothing.

Congrats.
